US Politics, January 2020. Because we hate ourselves.

kinda surprised trump hasn't tried to seal off all flights from china yet, or something. guess he's been distracted

The "peace plan" sounds terrible and a non-starter. Israel keeps West Bank settlements, trades away Arab-Israeli citizens into Palestine, retains control over Palestine's borders in trade/immigration/security, and opens the Temple Mount for "all religions". Imagine a plan designed by ultra right wing West Bank settlers, and that's the Kushner plan.

"I can’t believe how irresponsible the next Democratic President was" lol

always like reading your posts Sanpaku

bibi's plan to straight-up annex the settlements seems like a pretty big deal

Jared Kushner, senior adviser to the President, says the White House's Middle East plan is "a great deal" and if Palestinians reject it, “they’re going to screw up another opportunity, like they’ve screwed up every other opportunity that they’ve ever had in their existence.” pic.twitter.com/ABAI3gKjig

what a stupid little peckerhead he is

Some people are saying the irrepressible giggling from a Fox host as the President's brain audibly melts down should have the entire enterprise sent to a gulag for collusion in treason. You're hearing it more and more, and perhaps they have a point. We're going to be looking into it, and looking into all the things.

Diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia in the comments is intriguing, although 'loss of empathy' is a bit of a stumbling block as a symptom, how could we even tell

good morning!

what the fuck

If the evidence is “overwhelming” and “extensive,” why do we need witnesses? https://t.co/LUWxGLgaTm

Gardner, McSally and Tillis “warned colleagues in the meeting against backing more witnesses, people familiar with the matter said. The senators said a drawn-out trial could lead to more Democratic attacks and hurt their re-election chances” https://t.co/NmYNGEnacR

Don’t tell them it’s an election year

That Lankford tool was on the radio this morning. I think the GOP picks him for his deadpan. First he says there is no first hand account of what Trump is accused of doing. The interviewer says the Bolton manuscript contains a firsthand account. So Lankford says that no one has actually seen the manuscript, just unnamed sources in the paper, and that he and others need to see that manuscript ASAP. So the interviewer asks, why not just call Bolton to testify? And Lankford says he needs to see the manuscript first to see if the claims are credible enough to justify Bolton testimony. And the interviewer says, wait a minute, what does it matter what the manuscript says, it's still just words. Just calll Bolton and ask him yourself. And round and round we go. It's total They Live! sunglasses shit.

Why would the senate allow the testimony of radical leftist John Bolton, he'll just show up and rant about the benefits of collectivist farming for hours

seriously. give that guy a platform and you might as well just give people free healthcare right now.

I heard he was gonna shave his mustache, wear a dress, ask us to call him "Johnette" from now on, then take ginormous bong hits during his testimony.

Did you know that John Bolton once served in the administration of a President who tried to blackmail a country into investigating his opponent? How can the senate trust the testimony of such a person?

um wasn't "how can we trust a guy who worked for Donald Trump" a legit defense GOP'ers tried when it came to the testimonies of Manafort and Michael Cohen

Trump says he might deploy some F-35s to a local air base, saying workers here will see them come in. He says, "Actually they're totally stealth, so maybe you won't see them come in. You won't see them come in."

sir how do you know they're not already there

we may have a Feb thread title

NBC News reports:

Trump painted a doomsday scenario under a Democratic president. “If we don’t win, your farms are going to hell,” he said, claiming that under the Green New Deal supported by some of the 2020 contenders, “they want to kill your cows.” “That means you’re next,” he said.

farms: famously against cow-killing

Good morning!

he's right. GND has a provision about trading cattle mutilation rights to aliens in exchange for carbon filtering tech

first they came for my cows and i said nothing

e-i-e-i-o

as far as I'm aware, farms are already in complete hell under his policies so I don't know what he's getting at.

on that point

in case you weren't looking fwd to the SOTU next week

“He will contrast his vision with radical proposals being floated on the Left,” said the official during a briefing. “Clearly, socialism is a rising force in the Democratic Party with very specific designs on our healthcare system.”

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/trump-to-attack-rising-force-of-socialism-in-state-of-the-union-speech

"Madam Speaker, Majority Leader McConnell, Senators, Congressional Representatives, and distinguished guests, I am here to report the State of our union is strong... except where it is infested with democrats and socialists who would happily destroy our nation and way of life, as I will now explain at length, using as many untruths as I find convenient for my purposes."

Every Democrat in the chamber should stand with their backs to him for the entire speech.

And whiz

All throw their shoes at him at the same time.

good morning!

"They want to kill our cows" for February title, please.

YOUR cows

I shall do it. Give me a minute, ok?

It is done, to quote a well-known member of the trinity.
